Q: pop ups after upgrading to Yosemite

since I upgraded to Yosemite the computer keeps asking for keychain login passwords every few minutes for;

icloudhelper.xpc

calendaragent

addressbooksourcesync

mail

 

does anyone know how to get rid of this?

It’s rather annoying.

    I had the same problem and just called apple support and within 10 minutes they were all gone! The support I got was free.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.

    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.

    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select

              Change Settings for Keychain "login"

    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.

    From the menu bar, select

              Keychain Access Preferences... First Aid

    There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.

    Select

              Keychain Access Keychain First Aid

    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

    If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

    aaountsd wants to log in to keychain local parts

    etc

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.

    Step 1

    Follow the directions in this support article.

    Step 2

    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Select the iCloud keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.

    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password.

    Select

              Keychain Access Keychain First Aid

    from the menu bar and repair the keychain.

    Step 3

    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

    Step 4

    Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:

    ☞ Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".

    ☞ Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".

    You can then close the folder. 

    Delete the login keychain from the keychain list in Keychain Access. Choose

               Delete References

    when prompted, not Delete References & Files.

    Select

              File Add Keychain...

    from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred. 

    Run Keychain First Aid again. Quit Keychain Access.
